Ran the Schwalbe marathons (700x25) for a couple of years but still had puncture issues on gravel/rough roads. Switched to the Continental Gatorskins (700x28) and it's a world of difference; didn't have a single puncture this season.
Nitto Neo Gens are good performance and on road tire.
Finally upgraded from the stock tires to a set of Nitto Terra Grappler G3’s 265/60R20. Been quiet on highway and still look aggressive. I’ve only had them for a short time but impressed already for what I was looking for.
FWIW - I run 32mm GP5000's on 25mm IW rims; I measured them after a few hundred miles and they were 34.4mm wide.
I have the 35mm as tr on a 25mm rim. Great tires btw. Smooth as butter and very consistent build quality.
DWS06+ performs incredibly well and is priced considerably cheaper than Michelin. I went from PS4S to DWS and actually prefer the Continentals even without price factored in.
Prius where road noise is the main concern, the Continental TrueContact Tour is usually the quieter of the two it rides softer and stays quiet even as it wears.
I have continental extreme contact are around $170 and I like them.
I put on Continental DWS06 tires in 245/40R18 and ran them the last 2 winters. They are good all around. But I feel they lack grip on sharp turns and don’t turn in as much as I would like (in snow). They aren’t fantastic on ice either. They are good if you are going to run one tire all year round. But after the wear to the point the “S” is no longer visible, I imagine the will not do great in the winter and you’ll have to replace them sooner.
I put a driveway stone through a continental tire. Never again. They have lost something. Used to be a good tire. Not any more.
